Clefable is a large-fairy like Pokémon that was introduced in the first generation Pokémon games. It is the evolved form of Clefairy, and the introduction of Cleffa in the second generation retroactively made Clefable into the third and final form of Cleffa's evolutionary line.

Information

Clefairy evolves into Clefable when exposed to a Moon Stone, and it is described as a type of fairy. It is rarely seen due to being timid and protective of their own world. They avoid loud noises or busy places, refusing to come out of people and running and hiding the moment it sense is people. Clefable instead prefer quiet, remote mountains. It has sensitive ears that can pick up distant noises, to the point where it is said to hear a pin dropping 1,100 yards away.

They move by skipping lightly, as if using their wings, and they have been known to take strolls on lakes on quiet, moonlit nights. The full moon usually draws it to deserted lakes.
